I think wearing seatbelts are necessary and they do save lives, however being issued with a ticket seems petty when kids are out there being mugged, and people are robbed and seriously injured on trains and buses daily. I would like to see more resources and manpower concentrated on more serious offences.

Indeed, Lozzy.. surely the seat belt law is The Daddy of all modern nanny state laws? A law which is enforced for your own good but has little impact (boom boom) on others if you choose to break it and suffer the consequences*?


*Apart from the weeping relatives and cost of being fed through a tube for forty years, of course.

Perhaps it is, but I agree with it for all the reasons previously given by various forumites.

This freaked me out, posted by a friend on facebook very recently.

Front left is Dan who complained about nanny state laws, and he really stuck it to the man didn't he.

This was taken about 3 months before he graduated and died, what a waste and if his death can mean anything, then for gods sake learn from his self defeating logic.

There's nothing to be gained from not wearing a seatbelt that doesn't involve cutting your life off to spite your face.

    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.  
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
